I’ve posted it before, but here’s the install script I use when installing Ubuntu: Firstly open a terminal window

Applications > Accessories > Terminal

And the paste the following in, either by right-clicking and copy/pasting, or by using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Shift+V (you need to use Shift too when pasting into a terminal window).
